Seasonal differences between clock rates

Clocks in the northern hemisphere are closer to the sun during summer than southern clocks. The corresponding difference in the gravitational potential leads to periodic differences in clock rates up to 3.4 *10/sup -13/. This effect will be measurable with an accuracy of about 10% when the present n...

description Clocks in the northern hemisphere are closer to the sun during summer than southern clocks. The corresponding difference in the gravitational potential leads to periodic differences in clock rates up to 3.4 *10/sup -13/. This effect will be measurable with an accuracy of about 10% when the present network of precision clocks is extended to the southern hemisphere. (5 refs).
